Paul Romanuk Biography

Paul Romanuk is one of the most popular and richest Ice Hockey Player who was born on October 31, 1961 in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada. Paul Romanuk (born October 31 1961) is an Toronto writer and sportscaster from Toronto. Paul was raised in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada.

When he graduated in 1983 Romanuk was still in school at Ryerson He was offered his first pay-per-hour job in broadcasting. He was hired to be a color commentator for the Oshawa Generals junior hockey on CKAR 1350 AM radio along with play-byplay host Mike Inglis. In 1984, Inglis moved on and Romanuk was appointed to take over the play-by-play responsibility. Romanuk continued to work after graduation, completing the role until 1987.

Additionally, fresh graduate Romanuk freelanced for the new all-sports cable channel TSN, starting there as a newsroom editorial assistant in February 1985, months after the channel’s September 1984 launch. Aside from working in the fledgling network’s newsroom, he soon got the opportunity to contribute field pieces and file on-camera reports, even doing the occasional update on TSN’s central nightly sports newscast SportsDesk.

With his television profile raised as a result of the TSN on-camera appearances, Romanuk got hired to host the OHL Game of the Week presentation during the 1986–87 season on Global Television Network. This further television exposure led to Calgary’s CFAC-TV station (at the time still nominally unaffiliated though increasingly reliant on Global’s programming) offering him C$50,000, an amount Romanuk in a later interview described as “more money than I had been making from all my freelance gigs put together”, for a full-time job of reporting and anchoring their Newsfirst news show. The 25-year-old took the generous offer, bringing his girlfriend along across the country in 1987. However, mere months after moving to Calgary, Romanuk received a full-time reporter position offer for TSN’s SportsDesk back in Toronto and decided to take it to the displeasure of his Calgary employers.

When the year was 1981, Romanuk made the move to Toronto to attend Ryerson Polytechnical Institute’s radio and TV arts program.

From 1981 to 1984, while taking classes during his time at Ryerson, Romanuk did unpaid work for Toronto Marlboros Sunday broadcasts on the campus radio station CKLN. Romanuk began his career as a statistics and technical equipment person for the broadcaster Michael Landsberg before taking over the role of playing by play after Landsberg left.

Upon graduating from Ryerson in 1984, in addition to continuing as the radio voice of the Ontario Hockey League’s Oshawa Generals, Romanuk added a few more freelance gigs.
